Yah. Played a scenario there. Great fields. But the paint was so bad I wouldn't buy a second case to play day 2. All the locals said that's there standard paint quality. And your description of what it looked like fits it to a T also. Sorry to hear. Its ashame some fields just don't care.

Valken has two grades of "field" paint: Infinity, and Echo. I haven't had any experience with the Echo, but I would not buy the Infinity. The fill turns very waxy and stains easily. It's just a real pain to clean up.

The lowest grade paint that they have which is made of 100% PEG is called Fate. I and a few guys at my field tested 1000 rounds each of Fate, Graffiti, Redemption and Redemption Pro this summer. We chose to go with Fate as the cheap paint, and Redemption as the high-grade for our field. Shooting through our rental Tippmann Alpha Blacks, the Fate did very well and was preferred over the Graffiti even.

Could I save some cash and make more for my org by providing only Infinity or Echo? Yeah. But, no. Just... no.

I think this is the conclusion that the owners are coming to...they get a lot of new players who may not realize the difference but when people who have been playing a while start noticing and complaining they have to take notice

Honestly, the 100% PEG paint cleans off a woodsball field with just rain and the weather. But the waxy residue left by the non-100%-PEG paint does not. Strictly from a field cleanup standpoint, it saves you time and money to go with the higher quality paint, in my book.

Yea I had to swab almost 3 times a game. There was a friend who had a brand new empire defender that was shredding it. Also Mr. H from HK army had a vanquish there and it kept breaking paint too. It wasn't just a mag problem. I even heard the level 10 kick in a few times and the next shot always was a broken ball.

Oh I'm sure the paint was trash. But in the past I've thought the paint was horrible. And come to find out my detent was jacked up. Tiny issue of not being in far enough. But that was enough to make me swab a barrel quite a bit. Then feel like a moron after the fact when I learned what my #1 problem was.
